I see a lot of quick thread bans in your future. You really seem to devolve a lot of threads into complete ****.

We don't wanna go there.

He's welcome to report mine. You see, I couldn't break his kneecaps which is the seemingly acceptable thing to do.

OTOH, "people" like the clowns running the Puddle making their site look like a Nascar sled invites the use of ad blockers.
Yeah. There's a difference between a site having 1-2 reasonably placed ads. A lot different than the ones I've been to over the years that are loaded with infolinks, tons of ads all over the place, pop-ups (or pop-behinds, which are even more annoying) or the hateful "send you to an ad and tell you to click to get to the page you wanted to get to or wait 10 seconds for us to do it" thing.

There's a difference between having ads on a site and having intrusive ads on a site that's probably generated by what the site offers to a person and how much they want to deal with anything to get that service. For a message board, I'd be completely cool with ads like we have here, as they don't get in the way and take up little area, but absolutely hated what the Huddle turned into with infolinks and those banners that popped up on pages and tons of ads. With last.fm (online radio I can adjust to fulfill all my evil euro-metal desires), I can tolerate having a 10-15 second commercial every 3 songs because I'm getting to listen to a lot of underground groups I'm not familiar with for free AND have the freedom to add/delete stuff from my library at will. But if I didn't have that freedom, I probably wouldn't be cool with interruptions.

So a pic of a girl in a shirt with owl eyes and grass could be inappropriate? if the owls eyes line up with the areola and the grass aligns with the bush we could be flagged.


No pictures. Also no discussion since we cant say something that will be sexual. Justin and the mods will post everything. We can discuss things on facebook.

Seriously we should just move the site to the facebook group. Or see if we can get it added as a subreddit. Anything is better than this. The site is becoming a shell of itself based on the whims of Google.

How difficult is it to have a non sexual discussion? :confused:

When it gets flagged someone physically checks it to see if it's actually a problem. Good lord.

Not on sex. But the ability to speak freely. Which now we can't. Or at least i cant. Because i say fuck. A lot. And fuck is a sexual word. Sometimes.

You can say fuck all you want. When have I ever said you can't say fuck?

What the fuck?

So i can go do a google image search for half naked bikini clad women and that's good. But posting a link here is flagged. By Google. Fuck.

Correct. I don't make the(ir) rules but I have to play by them if I want to actually make money here.

It left with the peach. I'm hardly one to be a grammar Nazi but my god, how does anyone misspell speech? It is the same letter.
